Tower Defense Game, movement system issues

[os_clock]

Hello, I’m trying to make a freezer tower in my tower defense game , but i cant figure out how to change the speed of the tween instantly cause the freezer slows the enemies down and I don’t want to wait until it reaches the next waypoint for it to update.

Right now if the tower shoots a zombie it just teleports to the next waypoint.

	for waypoint = 2, #workspace.Waypoints:GetChildren() do
		local previousPoint = workspace.Waypoints[waypoint - 1]
		local nextPoint = workspace.Waypoints[waypoint]
		
		enemy.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = true
		
		if enemy:FindFirstChild("MovingTo") then
			enemy.MovingTo.Value = waypoint
		end
		
		local Distance = (previousPoint.Position-nextPoint.Position).Magnitude
		
		--enemy.HumanoidRootPart.Orientation = nextPoint.Orientation
		TS:Create(enemy.PrimaryPart, TweenInfo.new(1,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.In,0,false,0), {Orientation = nextPoint.Orientation}):Play()
		
		local TravelTime = Distance / enemy:WaitForChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed
		
		local MoveAnimation = TS:Create(enemy.HumanoidRootPart, TweenInfo.new(TravelTime,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.Out,0,false,0), {Position = nextPoint.Position})
		MoveAnimation:Play()
		
		enemy.Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("WalkSpeed"):Connect(function()
			MoveAnimation:Cancel()
			MoveAnimation = TS:Create(enemy.HumanoidRootPart, TweenInfo.new(TravelTime,Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,Enum.EasingDirection.Out,0,false,0), {Position = workspace.Waypoints[waypoint].Position})
			MoveAnimation:Play()
		end)
		
		MoveAnimation.Completed:Wait()
		end
	if enemy:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		BaseModule.UpdateHealth(enemy.Humanoid.Health)
	end
	enemy:Destroy()
end

If you know the solution to this please let me know.

I actually had this issue aswell when making a freeze tower. So i would like to inform on how i tackled this issue. I tried to make it somehow work with using tweens but sadly couldn’t. I resorted into using the Lerp function instead which seemed to work great.
Here is the idea of how it would go:

Orientation

	--Orientation / Look at part.
	local CFrame1 = enemy.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame -- Cframe of enemy
	local CFrame2 = CFrame.new(CFrame1.Position, nextPoint.CFrame.Position) 
	
	for i=0,1,0.1 do
		enemy.HumnaoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame1:Lerp(CFrame2,i)
		wait(0.05)
	end

Position

	local PosDifference = nextPoint.Position - enemy.HumanoidRootPart.Position
	local Distance = PosDifference.magnitude
	
	local HumanoidCFrame = enemy.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
	local newCFrame = CFrame.new(enemy.HumanoidRootPart.Position,nextPoint.Position) + PosDifference
	

	local speed = enemy:WaitForChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed -- Speed of the enemy
	

	for i=0,speed,1/Distance do
		
		enemy.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = HumanoidCFrame:Lerp(newCFrame,i/speed)

		wait()

	end

Now, there are many ways to implement the freeze feature, but this is how i did it.

• 1. Have every enemy equipped with a bool value inside of their HumanoidRootPart, For example called Frozen.
• 2. Have the Freeze tower to set the value to true when the tower fires at the enemy.
• 3. Check if the enemy’s Frozen value is true inside of the Lerp loop. If yes, then pause the loop, causing the enemy to stay still.
• 4. Now revert the Frozen value back to false, This can be done inisde of the tower script or the enemy script.

This is how it would look like:

	for i=0,speed,1/Distance do
		
		if enemy:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then -- check if enemy still exists

			local Frozen = enemy.HumanoidRootPart.Frozen -- get the frozen value

			enemy.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = HumanoidCFrame:Lerp(newCFrame,i/speed)


			if Frozen.Value == true then--pause the loop until frozen is false again.
				repeat wait() until Frozen.Value == false
			end


		end

		
		

		wait()

	end
